there are a lot of good animes that crunchyroll doesn't have, such as bleach, one piece, higurashi, eden of the east, and a lot more. It makes me mad, but I understand that they get the videos directly from japan and can't get all the animes. Does anyone know an anime website with good quality videos and no megavideo? free would be nice

I have been a fan of Bleach for many years now, since the first episode was released and subbed in english. I have seen alot of good and bad subs on bleach and above all subs of the plethora of anime series I have watched in my lifetime Dattebayo is and always will be number one. It sucks that because of my schedule I just noticed what was going on with the petitions and to my dismay if Crunchyroll picks up Bleach Dattebayo will drop it. That will seriously blow donkey $%#^%!!!!!!!!! Though the guys at Dattebayo are sometimes a little crass and quick to Ban people for asking really stupid questions, they are still top of the line. They don't try to censor or soften up the anime's they sub. I mean c'mon.......Hidan of Naruto was a foul mouthed bastard and was meant to come across that way. Not as mildly mean like " mommy he was mean to me " mean. he was a dirty MF'r. I can't support childish subs, there are certain shows that aren't meant to be dulled or watered down.....bleach and Naruto are them.....More-so bleach. So please..........don't mess it up for everyone else. Leave Bleach be. If you can't download it from Dattebayo it's probably cuz you're too damn young and the parental restrictions on your parents computers won't allow you to, so go back to watching bakugan and pokemon or just wait for funimations corny dubs to be released on cartoon network or Adult Swim.

Well, I had this long and well-thought-out reply written up, and then my browser crashed ._.

In short, I'm completely against CR acquiring Bleach -- I've supported Dattebayo for a long time, and I would hate to see them stop putting out their fansubs of the series, as I find their translations not only entertaining but at times educational and their file-download format is ultimately more convenient for me as opposed to CR's streaming format (low-speed internet connection).

While a lot of agree CR should not aquire Bleach, and many others feel they should; I view it as a coin toss really. I mean DB has done a great job fansubbing bleach I like many have been watching their work for more then 3 years and appreciate the work. CR is a great site to view anime for many people across the globe, however I prefer my sub's to be very well done and not watered down to a pre-schooler's "Barney Show". Personally I feel if bleach is placed here that is exactly what will happen to it; not only will the karaoke not be implemented like in most of their series, but the crucial dialogue between characters will more then likely take a major hit. Everyone that has been watching bleach, naruto, ruruoni kenshin, FMA, FMP, etc no a lot of these anime's have a lot of foul language or characters that are meant to pass off as complete jerks or the potential "bastard" of the series and while CR does a good thing spreading anime across the board for all of us. If bleach does eventually get placed here; they need to find a way to appease everyone who enjoy's their favorite anime's Uncensored and not watered down to a pre-school show for the young one's; other wise it may or may not cause people to stop watching anime in one form or another.

I have been a fan of bleach for quite some time as well. I think that CR would greatly benefit in aquireing The animated series of Bleach. I could go into all the benefits of why CR should show Bleach, but I'd rather do It short and sweet by saying that it would be very beneficial. And very popular. It might just push me over into getting an anime membership.

Ok, so I've never even heard of crunchyroll, before. I decided to click a link and have a look around before I made my decision on the Bleach issue. I've been on Animefreak.TV a few times when I wanted to preview an Anime I wasn't sure about, or simply watch a short series I had no desire to keep.

I'm watching about 4 on-going series through torrented fansubs, including Bleach. I download them every week in 720p and watch them on my 50" Plasma. While I don't hold a grudge against CR for any reason, membership fees, ads, and low quality embeded players are not my idea of enjoying a good series. I understand you have to pay for Servers and Licensing, but I guess I never caught on to that method. Additionally, and unless you're bogged down at the moment, your servers are very, very slow.

Bleach is old and on the downfall, I'm surprised I'm still watching it, it's approaching 300 episodes without really going anywhere and I don't know how long it's going to take till they conclude (if ever). If it wasn't for Bleach, I really would have nothing to do with DB, they're pretty thick-headed over there, and it seems they've made up their mind about CR.

Why take a series, right in the middle, and ruin it for 200,000+ fans? Someone's going to just take over where DB left off, but it's not going to be the same. Let DB do what they started, possibly work with them, if you absolutely need to, but If you're going to add some series to your list, you should either take on new shows, from start to finish, or take on concluded series, from start to finish.

I am a big fan of Naruto and Bleach. I am also a big fan of artistic integrity. I understand that CR, Viz, and other production companies want to make these shows for a very wide audience. However, if they are changing dialog in order to do that then that is screwing with the story and the director's vision. I would trust Dattebayo to keep that intact nad would hope CR takes them up on their offer to help sub.
